Payday 3: How to stealth Dirty Ice Starbreeze StudiosDirty Ice in Payday 3 is a fairly easy heist to complete in stealth if you know what you\u2019re doing, but actually working out the whole process can be tricky. Here\u2019s how to do it without raising the alarm. Dirty Ice is Payday 3\u2019s third mission, and the second one you can complete in stealth. It involves stealing a bunch of jewelry from a high-end New York store. While it\u2019s slightly tougher than sneaking through the bank heist, the mission is one of the more simple ones in the game. Before you start, make sure you\u2019re using a good stealth loadout to ensure you don\u2019t accidentally raise the alarm. Here\u2019s how to beat Dirty Ice in stealth. How to stealth Dirty Ice in Payday 3 To begin with, be sure to stay unmasked and take a look around the jewelry store. Take note of where the guards and cameras are located, and don\u2019t be afraid to walk into the back areas for extra reconnaissance. If a guard spots you, he\u2019ll just escort you out. Here\u2019s where we\u2019ve noticed guard locations on Normal difficulty: One in the front of the store – One patrolling in the back private area – One patrolling the back alley – One inside the basement – One in the camera room – You\u2019ll also need to find the store manager, who is useful for objectives later on. She wears a blue shirt with a yellow scarf and is found in the front area. The jewelry store has a public area at the front full of civilians, as well as a back area with a break room, an office, a VIP showroom, and a workshop. Dirty Ice QR code locations The best way into the store\u2019s private areas is through the back. You can either lockpick the gate on the left-hand side of the building or head down into the alleyway on the right-hand side. Either way, these areas will give you access to the back alley where a guard patrols. Your first task should be finding a bunch of cell phones lying around. Each one will have a QR code that grants you access through certain doors. There should be one resting on the floor by the car or on a crate in the alley. This code will unlock the back door and let you into the building. While you\u2019re also here, take note of the door to the basement with a keypad on it. You don\u2019t need to come in here yet, but you will soon. Dirty Ice basement code Once inside, find the manager\u2019s office. It\u2019s located in the long hallway that has a patrolling guard walking through. You\u2019ll find a computer you can interact with, which will point you to one of three locations that shows the Basement Door code. Possible locations are: Employee of the Month frame at the front of the store – WiFi password in the break room – A book in the VIP showroom – It\u2019s possible you may need another QR code for this, so take a look around the office for any cell phones that you can interact with. Once you\u2019re ready, head to the correct location and find the code. It\u2019ll be in plain sight for you to read. Head back outside and to the basement door. Enter the code and you\u2019ll gain access to the basement. In the basement, there are two rooms of interest. The first is the camera room where you can deactivate cameras if you fancy using up a radio. The other is a small closet containing a red keycard, a safe, and a switch to disable the case alarms. Head in here and grab the keycard, while also disabling the case alarms. If you want to get a higher payout too, it\u2019s a good idea to crack the safe and take the evidence too. You can now open the jewelry cases in the store and steal the loot without the alarm going off. If you don\u2019t fancy controlling the main lobby, use a QR code to access the VIP showroom, which is next to the manager\u2019s office. This room is full of jewelry and is away from the public eye, so you\u2019ll have an easier time ferrying out the loot. Break into these cases and take the Jewelry bags. The escape van is located at the back of the store, in the alleyway. Toss the loot in there for a hefty payday. Dirty Ice manager If you want to get a bigger payday, there also exists a side quest in Dirty Ice that allows you to get more value out of your bags. It involves accessing the Jewelry Workshop which is located by the VIP showroom. To do this, you\u2019ll need to get ahold of the store manager. As we said earlier, she\u2019s in the front of the store wearing a blue shirt and yellow scarf. To get her attention, you need to go back into the basement and find the safe in the closet where you found the keycard. Take a photo of the evidence then head back upstairs. In the manager\u2019s office, call the phone and blackmail the manager with the evidence you found downstairs. She\u2019ll come from the front into the back area where you can grab her. Grab the manager as a human shield and take her through to the Jewelry Workshop, where she\u2019ll use the biometric scanner to grant you access. Tie her up again and head inside. The workshop contains a machine where you can deposit Jewelry bags to increase the value of each loot bag by turning them into Clean Jewelry. This will give you a bigger payday at the end but is risky due to the extra steps involved. Dirty Ice vault access Finally, there\u2019s also the vault which is located in the middle of the central hallway at the back of the store. To open the vault, you need to have one player push the button on the manager\u2019s office desk and another insert the red keycard into the vault door access pad. You both need to do this at the same time, so make sure you time it correctly. If you\u2019re playing solo, luckily there is a way to still do this. To get in here, you need to take the manager into her office and shove her in front of the button. She\u2019ll press the button for you, and as she does you can run to the vault door and insert the keycard. Inside is a rare stone that will add to your final payout. While this step isn\u2019t necessary to finish the level, you can earn a considerable amount from doing both of these final side quests. The choice is yours. Once you\u2019re done, you can finish the level and go straight into the next heist, Rock The Cradle. For more heists in Payday 3, check out the full mission list.
